March 6 - 12, 2009 The Independent Weekly 36 www.independentweekly.com.au HENLEY KIOSK ON THE BEACH The Esplanade, Henley Beach, SA 5024 OPENWednesday-Monday, 7.30am till late afternoon. Closed Sunday. for Henley Beach, where we find calming and restorative influences regardless of the weather. On a violently windy and rough W day, it is the para-surfers who supply wondrous entertainment, whipping and bouncing across the waves, flipping and spiralling into the air with a grace and skill that only true athletes manage. In the early cool of what promises to be a scorching day, the low-tide mornings can offer the pleasure of watching dolphins skittering playfully along the shallows, spraying tiny, glittering silver fish in their wake.Then there are the languid, calm days when we walk to the mouth of the River Torrens to join the pelicans standing in line and singly on any available vantage point, watching the scenery with apparently as much appreciation as us. It is a good place to take the dog for a walk and there is a comfortable, safe friendliness as you stroll along the beach. It is also a place we like to take overseas visitors who live in crowded cities far from the ocean, and enjoy their appreciation of our open space, clean air and unpolluted blue skies. It is their wonderment that this is free and for everyone that brings home just how often we forget the good things our city offers. One of the pleasures of a walk at Henley Beach, apart from the ice-cream at the start, is the reward of one of Adelaide’s best coffees. As his gleaming espresso machine attests, owner Joe is a dedicated barista who doesn’t leave his station. On weekends, when the kiosk is frequently jam-packed with a seating capacity of somewhere around 80, there is an unwavering quality in the coffee and you don’t have to wait forever to get it. Joe’s son Joseph takes the orders and his daughter Bianca controls the coffee flow – setting up the saucers, handing over the cups and keeping Joe focused. Their systems are impressive, and their calm efficiency offers a lesson that could well be applied to many of Adelaide’s espresso bars where the quality of coffee falls apart at the slightest sign of business. hen the words don’t flow or the previous day was overly long and hard, we often head eat Ann Oliver olive@annoliver.com It’s a shore thing Photo: Ann Oliver The weekend crowd is hugely mixed, including sweaty, Lycra-clad cyclists; mums and dads; singles; young and old people; kids and dogs. There’s plenty of water for dogs placed around in recycled ice-cream containers, and the kids usually prefer playing on the beach. A couple of years ago Joe started to cover the walls with photos of his customers and this has got so delightfully out of hand that they are now plastered on about a third of the ceiling. It is possible to envisage the colourful embellishment snaking onto the exterior walls by the end of the year. This is a simple beach kiosk selling old-fashioned, generous breakfasts – $14 for a full breakfast and $10 for a real hamburger with the lot. Everything is cooked on a fish-and-chip-shop-style flat-top grill, and the hamburger is still our top choice for the morning after. Joe has not introduced silly posh chairs that would look totally out of place, and the kiosk continues to have plastic chairs and backless benches. In winter, a clear screen protects from the wind without ruining the view.We love it! sized but well-stocked owner- operated supermarket. Everything is spaciously arranged, and the food display is clean and appetising. Wewent in search of breakfast, and there were some instantly reassuring signs on the menu: fresh juices (orange,watermelon, apple, celery, beetroot, carrot, pineapple, parsley), Kangaroo Island biodynamic eggs, free-range bacon and Saltbush lamb sausages. Eggs are available scrambled or poached in just about any combination you can devise. There’s also Bircher and gluten-free muesli with biodynamic yoghurt and fresh fruit and, if you’re feeling naughty, pancakes with maple syrup. Coffee came promptly with a thick crema and good, strong flavour without any hint of bitterness. Wild Thyme has cute little metal holders for the glass espresso and macchiato cups, and big, sage-coloured ’80s cappuccino The Thyme is now for breakfast W ild Thyme Organic Market & Cafe is a nice combo of small eatery and modestly WILD THYME ORGANIC MARKET & CAFE 101 Melbourne Street, North Adelaide, SA 5006 T 8361 8888 OPEN Monday-Friday, 7am-5.30pm, Saturday and Sunday, 7am-5pm cups; in fact, there are lots of nice little touches, including the cute doggie water bowl that stands by the front door. Fresh, free-range eggs are a world apart in flavour from cage eggs, although these ones weren’t as runny as they were ordered and the spinach didn’t match the “baby” description mentioned on the menu (it was a generous serve of the tasty, old-fashioned spinach). Everything tasted good and came on two thick slices of unbuttered sourdough toast. Generously priced for the quality, my breakfast was $11.80, while the scrambled or poached eggs with mushrooms and oven-roasted tomatoes was $12.90. Unbuttered toast is an anathema to anyone who grewup eating toast that always came dripping with butter. We have learned, and should have remembered, that these days butter usually has to be requested. Wewere impressed that the waitress quickly found dried chilli flakes when they were asked for,and wonder why more establishments don’t offer these as a matter of course.
